Rekey Locks in Boca Raton, FL
Just closed on a condo near Mizner Park, wrapping up a lease off Glades Road, or heading north for the season and want the locks reset first? LockFox rekeys home and condo locks throughout Boca Raton on-site, keeping the hardware you already have.
When Boca Raton homes get rekeyed
Gated communities west of the turnpike
Country club sections such as Boca West and Broken Sound sit behind a guardhouse, and a rekey call there usually starts with a heads-up to the gate.
FAU-area rentals
Off-campus housing near Glades Road often gets rekeyed the same day a lease turns over, before a new tenant gets a key.
Condo towers near Mizner Park & Town Center
Closing on a unit near Mizner Park, Royal Palm Place or Town Center at Boca Raton leaves an unknown number of old keys and fobs in circulation until a rekey happens.
Seasonal residents
Homeowners who close up a Boca Raton house each spring often want a rekey before they leave, so only a caretaker or property manager holds a working key.
Mixed hardware in older sections
Homes built decades ago sometimes carry a Kwikset front door and a Schlage back door, which changes how a single-key rekey gets planned.
New homeowner move-in
Sellers, agents, cleaners and contractors all had access before closing, which is exactly why a rekey right after closing makes sense in Boca Raton.
Rekey or replace?
Rekeying swaps the pins inside a working cylinder so a new key operates it and every old key stops working; the lock itself stays on the door. It's the right call when the hardware is sound and you just need old keys out of circulation, which covers most closings and lease turnovers.
Replacement makes more sense when a lock is worn, corroded from the coastal air, or you want to upgrade to a smart deadbolt or a higher security grade. We tell you which applies once we've seen the lock or a photo of it.
HOA & condo association rules
Many gated and country-club sections of Boca Raton set rules on the visible finish or style of exterior hardware, even though the association has no say over what's happening inside the cylinder. Check your covenants, or ask us to match the current look when we rekey or replace a front door lock.
One key for a whole property
A single-family home in Boca Raton often has more locking points than it looks: front and side entries, a garage service door, and a sliding door or hurricane shutter track with its own lock. When we rekey, we can key the whole set alike so one key covers every door on the property, not just the front entrance.
What to prepare
- Photo ID with the address, or closing documents, a lease or a property-management agreement
- Renters: your landlord's OK before the locks change
- Photos of each lock, including any brand name on the face
- A note on any exterior hardware rules your HOA or condo board sets
- How many keys you'd like cut once the rekey is done
What affects the price
- Number of cylinders — every deadbolt and knob counts separately
- Rekeying versus new hardware
- Keying mismatched brands to one key, which can require a cylinder swap
- Gate check-in or guardhouse coordination for a west-of-the-turnpike address
- Number of keys cut

Rekey FAQ — Boca Raton
Do you rekey homes inside Boca West, Broken Sound or similar gated communities?
Yes. Give us the community and street when you call so we can check in at the gate, and confirm with your guardhouse or visitor system that a technician is expected.
I'm renting near FAU. Can you rekey before I move in?
Yes, and many landlords in that area schedule the rekey for move-in day itself. Bring your lease so we can confirm the address matches.
Should I rekey or replace the locks after buying a Boca Raton condo?
Rekey if the hardware is in good shape and you like how it looks; it clears every old key at a lower cost than new hardware. Replace worn, corroded or outdated locks instead, or if you want a smart lock.
My front door is Schlage and the back is Kwikset. Can they share a key?
Not directly, since the two brands use different keyways. We can usually swap one cylinder to match the other so both doors run on the same key.
Does my HOA need to approve a rekey?
The internals of your lock are yours to change. Some associations do regulate the visible finish or style of exterior hardware, so it's worth a quick check of your covenants if you're also changing the look of the lock.
